There are two main forms of data: focus groups and suvey data.

FOCUS GROUP DATA:

We conducted focus groups to pre-test the trust messages. We followed the protocol detailed in the supplemental materials. The redacted transcripts are available. Each of four dates is available:

May 24, 2022: FG052422TextRedacted.txt
May 26, 2022: FG052622TextRedacted.txt

SURVEY DATA:

We fielded a survey experiment on a national sample through Qualtrics from October 26, 2022, to November 4, 2022. The initial sample was contained 5,561 respondents; this was reduced to 4,370 respondents after listwise deletion for missing responses. 

Trust survey experiment small.csv is the datafile for the complete cases for the main text analysis. Trust survey experiment full.csv is the full survey file for sample descriptives.

BHJW-POQ-2024.R is the analysis file to produce both the main text and supplemental materials. Question wording and survey details are available in the supplemental materials.
